Indoor satsang scene: a person in a brown and gold draped garment with a striped red-and-gold turban and a coral-coloured beaded necklace stands with a hand on the forehead of a shaven-headed man in orange and red robes with a rudraksha mala and bangles, whose palms are raised and eyes closed. Behind them a seated man in a white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha beads sits on a red mat, a standing fan and red curtains are visible, and a gold ceremonial seat edges the frame. The turbaned figure appears to be giving a blessing or energy transmission (diksha-like gesture) to a devotee. Swamiji (probable): the turbaned figure has long dark hair tied back, a turban, ornate gold-bordered brown clothing and a coral necklace, consistent with a presiding teacher role.2013-11-07November 06 20132013-11-06July 23 20122012-07-23July 03 20152015-07-03April 18 20142014-04-18November 06 20132013-11-06October 19 20132013-10-19A photograph of a seated figure in a rust-red turban with gold trim and a rudraksha mala, wearing a rust-red robe with gold border, looking down with a smile. A white-haired elder in orange robes bends forward to touch the seated figure's feet. Behind them, a woman in white and another person in green stand with hands folded in a room with cream walls, a red patterned cloth, a brown leather chair and a red banner on the left. The seated figure is a person by appearance cues including the ornate turban, rudraksha mala and red-gold robes, shown in the act of receiving reverence from an elder.2014-03-18A photograph of a ritual exchange in an indoor hall with a cream tiled floor and red-draped curtains. A seated figure in a rust-red robe with a maroon turban trimmed in gold and a wooden rudraksha-style bead necklace places one hand on the forehead of a shaven-headed man kneeling before them. The kneeling man wears an orange saffron cloth, a dark wooden bead mala and red beaded bracelets, and his palms are raised open. Behind them, a seated attendant in white with gold-edged cloth and beads holds a white rope. Two women in saffron and white saris stand in the background, and another person sits at the right edge. The seated figure has distinctive long, swept-back hair and ceremonial gold-trimmed clothing consistent with a swami presenting a blessing, though the appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.2013-11-04Indoor photograph of a man in an orange-red turban and rust-orange robe, with a long rudraksha mala draped across his chest and a gold earring, smiling broadly and raising his right hand in a blessing gesture. Beside him stands another man in an ornate gold-bordered white dhoti and a rudraksha mala. Behind them, a man in white clothing wearing a neck pendant stands among a few other attendees, and a seated figure in orange sits on a mat near a wall with a large framed temple-art backdrop. A projection screen and a camera on a tripod are visible in the room. The man in the turban is a probable Swamiji candidate based on his turban, orange robe and rudraksha malas, though the appearance is not fully certain.2013-08-17December 17 20112011-12-17A photograph of a ritual or teaching moment in an indoor hall with cream walls, a white floor and a red cloth on the floor. On the left, a man wears a rust-brown turban with a gold band, a brown and gold shawl, and a multi-strand necklace of brown and white beads. He faces right with his hand extended toward a man on the right, who wears a white kurta and a brown beaded mala and raises both palms. A seated man in a white cloth and brown shawl with beaded necklaces watches beside them. Behind, a man in a yellow t-shirt and a woman stand near red curtains, and a white pedestal fan stands at left.2013-11-03
